Basic Slayer Exciter Sstc
While trying to build a SSTC I discovered that I could create something very simple, using a Buck converter. No interrupter, No Gate Drive, Single Mosfet.

Supplies
Components
2 x 1k or single 2k
1 x 500 ohm POT
1 x IRF250P n MOSFET
1 x Small LED
1x 670 nf 400 volt Capacitor
1 x Heat sink

Buck Step-up converter DC-DC 12-80 Volt 500 watt
backup fuse 8 amp
Power 12 Volt 7 amp battery
--------------------------------------
Coils
2mm Wire 1 mtr
.1 mm wire 100 mtr
PVC Tube 30mm
PVC Tube 40mm
PVC board
Wood Base
Screws for mounting
2 x clear nail gloss
Construct Coils
Primary Wire 2mm,5 Turns Wd 55mm
Secondary .1mm 1200 Turns
Secondary no cross overs or kinks, immediately gloss when completed.
Primary to be constructed on PVC as shown in image.
Build Circuit
Follow the circuit diagram.
A very simple circuit connected directly to the Buck Step-Up output.
Tune
Tune the coil
Important you will not increase the Arcś without the correct primary secondary tuning.
The Buck step up must be set to 40 volts for tuning the primary connection.
I used the third turn however this may may differ so tap the primary and test to find the best output.
Turn the 500 ohm pot when the spark discharge is longest this will change the frequency and spark length.
Buck converter Switching
Buck Amps also need to be adjusted so that the load/Slayer circuit, is just over the threshold.
this caused the buck to stop and restart at high frequency.
In truth, I don't expect the buck to last forever, switching high current and voltages, it's not designed for this.
Images and video are running at 70–80 volts.
SAFETY NOTE: Please do not attempt to recreate the experiments shown unless you are familiar with High Voltage Safety Techniques!
Next add the interrupter circuit to my design.
